Why are you baiting another pointless US vs China nationalism faceoff?
China has had a huge population and economy for decades. Almost by definition they will play an important role in the future of the internet. Anyone who said otherwise was wrong then and is wrong now.
- fwdpropaganda 9y ago> Why are you baiting another pointless US vs China nationalism faceoff? That was not my intention. Instead, my implication was that the dismissal of China's progress that you see in HN was entirely motivated by nationalism, not objective analysis of the facts. If you were trying to objectively analyze of the facts the rational conclusion should be "this is really complex, who knows how it's going to turn out."
- rtx 9y agoPeople would discuss facts if China was more open.
- fwdpropaganda 9y agoAre there some facts that you'd like access to that you don't? Give me specifics.
- simias 9y agoHN has a very strong USA (and in particular silicon valley) bias but I take offense at your generalization. I don't recall ever seeing a thread where the comments were unilateral china-bashing.
